[Bug 1727237] Re: systemd-resolved is not finding a domain

[oiugews]

All captive portal wifi connections are failing with Ubuntu 17.10.  This
was confirmed on two different captive portals which both worked just
fine with other devices.  The solution was to go back to Ubuntu 17.04.

You get to the portal page, put in whatever info, then afterwards the
redirect wouldn't redirecting properly.  This failed in both Chromium
and Firefox, and with both "use system proxy" as well as "automatic
proxy" settings.  Manual proxy configuration settings weren't tried, so
I can't confirm if this might be a problem relating to the proxy pac
file or not.

Either way this is a pretty critical issue since it seems all captive
portals don't work, making Ubuntu 17.10 on laptops pretty broken at the
moment.

Title:
  systemd-resolved is not finding a domain

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an odd network situation that I have so far managed to narrow
  down to the inability to resolve a domain via systemd-resolved which
  is resolvable with nslookup. If I use nslookup against the two
  nameservers on this network I get answers for the domain, but ping
  says it is unable to resolve the same domain (as do browsers and
  crucially the captive portal mechanism).

  Here are details:

  NSLOOKUP:

  ~$ nslookup securelogin.arubanetworks.com 208.67.220.220
  Server:		208.67.220.220
  Address:	208.67.220.220#53

  Non-authoritative answer:
  Name:	securelogin.arubanetworks.com
  Address: 172.22.240.242

  ~$ nslookup securelogin.arubanetworks.com 208.67.222.222
  Server:		208.67.222.222
  Address:	208.67.222.222#53

  Non-authoritative answer:
  Name:	securelogin.arubanetworks.com
  Address: 172.22.240.242

  
  PING:

  ~$ ping securelogin.arubanetworks.com
  ping: securelogin.arubanetworks.com: Name or service not known
  mark at mark-X1Y2:~$
